NNPC Refineries Resume Production of Kerosene, Scarcity to End Soon

​The three refineries of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation have resumed production of kerosene and diesel.

As a result, the scarcity of kerosene being witnessed across Nigeria may soon end.

According to Ndu Ughamadu, NNPC’s Group General Manager, Public Affairs Division, the refineries in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri have resumed production of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK), otherwise known as diesel and kerosene respectively.

The resumption of refining of AGO and DPK is expected to balance the disequilibrium in demand and supply of the white products being experienced in recent times in parts of the country, he said.
